Chinese Zodiac Animals

I'd like to introduce the lunar year mascots of China. We have 12 mascots in China to represent every 12 years. They are rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. And every two of them is a group. Specifically, rat and ox are a group which is a combination of intelligence and diligence. One is intelligent without diligence will lead to petty shrewdness, while one is diligent without intelligence will become stupid. Tiger and hare are a group which represents bravery and caution. One has more chances to succeed with the quality of bravery and caution. Dragon and snake are hardness and softness respectively. It is a good character for a person with the combination of hardness and softness in China. Horse and sheep are a group means courage and gentleness, the implied meaning is to march forward courageously with one's goal by adapting to the surrounding environment harmoniously. Monkey and rooster mean flexible and constant respectively. As we all know, monkey behaves flexible, and rooster calls people up regularly. Dog and pig are loyal and amiable. One who is only loyal is easy to exclude others, while one who is only amiable is easy to lost principle. That's all the implied meaning of the 12 mascots. I think you can get a better understanding of them now.

From the birth ,every Chinese people has his own ShengXiao .Chinese ShengXiao are composed of twelve animals (those are rat, cattle, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.), which developed from the olden and special noting year's way ----Earthly Branches.In order to be convenient for remembrance, onetime Chinese people related the twelve ordinary animals and Earthly Branches, which made a cycle for twelve years.

Beging a kind of typical national culture, ShengXiao has been used in some fields which include painting, sculpture, architecture, workmanship, china and so on at the ancient time. So ShengXiao has become a vividly popular image that implies good luck and nice bless. As yet ,ShengXiao has spread more than two thousands years so now , as a wealthy national culture property, it not only affects every Chinese people ,but has expanded to many especially other counties.
